I'm not very fond of Ubuntu, actually I hate it.
But this is an incredibly weak arcticle. Most of the points
involve Ubuntu not adhering to what all the other distros that
the author considers supperior are using. So? Isn't the point
of a distro to do things differently?
- striking 12y agoUpstart & Compiz are unsupported but will have to be backported to for five years. logind has been ported to Upstart for... some reason, and that needs support too. No one else uses Mir, but maybe it's "the future" or something, so I guess that one's okay. But oh, don't forget the kernel. That needs backported fixes too, because no one else will do it. Basically, they've made a mess for themselves, and by extension, they've made a mess for "you," the user. Making distros that investigate different ways to use Linux is a fantastic thing. Without it, we wouldn't have Alpine Linux or Arch Linux. But this seems to lack any sort of actual logical basis. Alpine is about being super-light-weight, Arch is about always staying fresh so devs don't need to recompile their tools manually. So what's Ubuntu's excuse?
- vacri 12y agoDebian voted for systemd in Feb 2014. Ubuntu 14.04LTS was released in April 2014, and was intended to be a stable release with no major changes. This was bad timing for Canonical, but the way it's been phrased in the article is that Canonical are idiots for keeping on with their tried-and-true Upstart instead of the not-quite-ready-yet Debian systemd. Note that it's April 2015, 12 months later. Debian's 'systemd release' is still not here yet.
